  1. As far as I remember I checked on that twice (it was the first thing that jumped to my mind too), but I'm not in a position top do so right now.
  2. time - maybe, money - its free... Anyway, I upgraded already (only takes a few minutes online) and couldn't find any news for professional users. Some graphic options, camera to match background as well as other stuff, but no new modeling tools. Seems to me google wanted to set a line straight with all SU customers and released a version that they wouldn't consider a full ver upgrade if they were charging $$ for it. I was also disappointed to find out it works slower with some of my older models (on the same machine as ver 5 is installed). Takes a while to display section cuts, which used to be instant ones I clicked the button. Also, orbiting is slower, and switching display modes. For now, I'm happy I uninstalled ver 5.
  3. No Probs with VNC - it should do exactly what you are asking. I use it to access te kids machine when they shout something is wrong in their machine. I only tell them to get their hands off ot the mouse and after a second they go "ok dad it fixed itself... no need for you to come..." For accessing my server I use windows remote desktop connection(Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>remote desktop connection) and create a desktop shortcut that includes password, resulotion and all. Its a more professional sulotion IMHO and no need to install anything (assuming both are win XP pro. Its even great for remote working on any program if connection speed is fast and stable (any local hub or switch is ok)
  4. Oh no. Plenty of them are 939. That one I mentioned (DFI) is and specifically says that supports the x2 http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3160&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=US I'm just wondering about, well... what I said... any potential CPU power loss. BTW, I thought NF3 Ultra was faster than NF3 250.
  5. I have a question that somehow relates to the same topic (sorry for hijacking the thread here...) Would an NF3 Ultra based mobo like the DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 ULTRA-D with an AGP slot that supports the X2 CPUs perform any different than, say the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe mentioned above, as far as CPU performance (rendering)? I'm thinking about a small upgrade (mobo and X2 CPU) but idealy would like to keep my AGP quadro without loosing potential CPU juice. Any info about it?
  6. Yup, I guess you are right. I think renderers like vray do take better advantage of HT technology than Mental Ray, so for vray users Xeons still might be an option, but... I still prefer newer technology and AMDs anyway.
  7. Yup, you'r right, but I'd fix the original pic before inserting the CG one so they all look vertical.
  8. Oh, I know what they are (the x2) I just don't know how fast they are relative to real dual CPU setup like the Xeons. My guess would be the Xeons are faster.
  9. Exactly! I gave them (MS) two chances by now and kept going back to my old simple Logitech. I still have this last MS one I bought new in the plastic bag for almost a year now. Its simply a pain to scroll or pan.
  10. Keep everything but switch to a dual 3.4 xeon with an "ncch" asus motherboard and I think you'll end up around the same amount (go down to 3.2 xeons if needed). Now, its been a while and I know I need to catch up with technology (not quite up to date with those x2 amds), but you might wanna check it out. I'd think that Opterons are faster than Xeons at the moment, but Xeons are still faster than single CPU setup. But there again... and again... Good luck
  11. I use MBM 5 on my PC-DL to monitor temps. http://mbm.livewiredev.com Its old and development already stopped, but it supports the PC-DL (its even on the site list). I used MBM for all my machines and its simply better than all the mobo manufacturers utils.
  12. I have to guess, as it isnt too clear to me as well, but I dont see what the rendering has to do with the video card. If it isnt crashing on orbiting the model, and then it crashes on rendering - look at everything else BUT the vid card. anything else you changed along the way? What is crashing - machine, program..? Which program? Which driver?
  13. OK, took me a while, but I'm out. Nice
  14. I could read it, but the #### wont help me anywhere...
  15. Exporting a DWG from Revit to be used in VIZ is one of the better options accept for VIZ modeling. The REVIT>DWG>VIZ has so much control ovr the process which you wont find anywhere. You CAN'T just export to DWG and expect it work for you. In Revit there is an EXPORT setting dialogue box that lets you pick and choose a color ID for each and every part of an object, so for example a door would have different IDs for its frame, swing, glass, hardware... for ease of matterial applying in VIZ through multi/sub-object mat type. Same goes with every objectlike stairs, railings, windows... You can save and load different DWG exporting standarts depending on which program you intend to export to and the way it handles. Revit exporting is VIEW SPECIFIC, so you have to be in a 3D view when you actually export. Inside VIZ, use file link, and you have to make sure "Unify Normals" Option is uncheck. As with every program, some things would be smarter to model directly in VIZ for better UVW. Same goes with for furnitures, trees and other small stuff that are better to be inserted in VIZ from a library.
